No. Games are attached to the account itself. It doesn't matter that the username changes.

You can use only change once every 90 days. It's an account limitation.

If you’re finding it won’t let you change your name you may have to leave any league (including those chess.com auto enrols you on). You can rejoin later, although I think you lose past progress (not sure about that and it may not matter to you anyway)

Leagues have no impact on name changes.

Hi, the account name could normally be changed every 90 days. I have a subscription and recently wanted to change my name. Although more than 90 days have passed since the last change, chess.com does not allow me to do it. Have there been any changes in the policy recently?

? Your account name does not change every 90 days. Nor does chess.com force you to change your password every 90 days, so I have no idea what you are talking about

I would like to change my name. Normally, you should be allowed (not forced, I understand that) to change it every 90 days. 90 days have passed, yet I cannot do it, because chess.com tells me that I have already changed my name. THat is the message: You have already changed your username. Only one change is allowed.

Their policy is explained here: https://support.chess.com/article/493-how-can-i-change-my-username

You last changed your name less than 90 days ago. You still have at least 43 days to reach it.

You may need to contact support in that case, using the Help menu options.

This is my (verified) alt account. I would like to change the username to @Bubbly, which has been inactive for way over 3 years. How could I do that?

Only premium accounts can get inactive usernames.

Same problem.
